This did not really annoy me at all, and actually gave me a great idea to piss them off.<br /><br /><br />Everyone take a few minutes to sign up for a dummy gmail.com account. Then signup for ronpaulforums.com. Make sure your email account isn't something like <a href="mailto:">'ronpaulisachildmolestor@gmail.com'</a>. Then wait for the Ron Paul 2008 messages to come in. When you get them, mark them as SPAM. </div><div> </div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9063/gameku5.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>If we get enough people to do this (I'm guessing 20-30 at least) it will block ALL RON PAUL updates on gmail.com therefore pissing the ronbot off royally.<br /><br />Lets make it happen!

Unfortunately for them, Digg.com members didn' t really care and buried the story. So sad.<br /><br />Anyways, they are sending more and more emails to abuse@digg.com. While abuse clearly isn't deleting the account because they see that we are not doing anything against TOS, there will always exist a possibility of the account getting deleted. If something does happen to the account like one of the spammers hacking the password, I have backups of the core team members and we can be back up and running within minutes.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DIGG ADMINS</span>: I really have to call on you to help sort this out. There are a large number of people who dislike the Ron Paul spam that is on Digg.com. Although I know a few key admins of Digg support Ron Paul, I hope you can put that past you and look at this situation neutrally. There are clearly people abusing the shout system to Digg up stories for an agenda (See PLEASE DIGG TO GET RON PAUL MONEY FOR BLIMP!!) - These are clearly spam submissions and should not be tolerated just because the RP supporters know how to abuse the algorithm.ANTIPAULhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06530363169884389450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229395389866922786.post-2890711061219724552007-12-20T18:34:00.000-08:002007-12-20T19:01:01.807-08:00DIGG: Noticed a drop in Ron Paul Spam recently? You're welcome.<strong>FIRST THINGS FIRST</strong><br />First off, let me thank everyone that is part of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">AntiPaul</span> &amp; <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">BuryBrigade</span>. Our members are what keep us alive and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">successful</span> and I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">truly</span> appreciate every one of you that has helped! You guys rock.<br /><br /><strong>SECOND</strong><br />AP/BB is not taking full credit for cleaning up <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Digg</span>. We helped clean up <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ALOT</span> of spam in recent days, but I believe Diggers in general are fed up with the Ron Paul spam. This is a good thing, because eventually the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">spammers</span> will realize they can't continue to manipulate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Digg</span> and go away. Until then, we will be watching and helping.<br /><br /><strong>WHAT YOU CAN DO</strong><br />Click on 'UPCOMING' for the upcoming stories, then sort by "Most Popular". If you see spam, BURY IT! Do not just ignore it! The Ron Paul spammers are very organized and are good at digging a story to get it on the front page. <span style="font-weight: bold;">THEY RELY ON YOU IGNORING THESE STORIES WHILE THEY SIT IN QUEUE!<br /><br /></span>Join us! Simply click on one of the users below and add us as a friend. When the spam comes in from our shouts, Click on the story and "REVIEW" it. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Thats</span> it!<br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/users/antipaul"><br />http://www.digg.com/users/antipaul</a><br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/users/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX">http://www.digg.com/users/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX</a><br /><br /><br /><strong>THINGS TO BE AWARE OF</strong>:<br />1. I am not burying these stories with tons of fake accounts, all the people in our groups are regular <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Digg</span> members who <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">truly</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">despise</span> what Ron Paul <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">spammers</span> are doing to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Digg</span>. I do not even specifically instruct people to bury the stories. I simply find spam, and notify people in our group to review the stories. If they think it should be buried - IT GETS BURIED.<br />2. I am also not affiliated to any political party and am not motivated by anything other than seeing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Digg</span> Ron Paul spam free.<br />3. Lastly, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">AntiPaul</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">BuryBrigade</span> are two <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">separate</span> entities that work towards the same goal on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Digg</span> - Being spam free. That said, if one organization does something against <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Digg's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">TOS</span> that does not mean the other should be immediately implicated as well. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Nuff</span> said.ANTIPAULhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06530363169884389450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229395389866922786.post-36946980436290874682007-12-16T17:17:00.000-08:002007-12-17T17:21:59.060-08:00An Open Letter to the Digg Community & Admins<span style="font-weight: bold;">INTRODUCTION<br /></span>Hello there, fellow Digger. Recently, we've seen a huge amount of Ron Paul spam hitting the front page. This is not cool. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Digg</span> staff do not seem to be doing anything about this, and I suspect it's just because enough people aren't making noise. So here it is:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why?</span><br />Our members and I (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">AntiPaul</span></span>/Bury Brigade) exist to get rid of all of the Ron Paul spam that plagues <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Digg</span></span>.com on a daily basis. I am not affiliated to any political party or agenda, I just do not want to see any more Ron Paul bullshit on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Digg</span></span>.com. And I'm sure you don't either. There is a very fine, but distinguished line between 'news' and 'spam', and the Ron Paul supporters are clearly using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Digg</span> to push an agenda.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Success</span><br />Let me start by saying, recently our little experimental group on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Digg</span></span> has been pretty successful. We were able to get rid of many of the "upcoming" Ron Paul stories by spreading the word to other <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Digg</span></span> members sick of seeing the spam. With relatively few numbers, we had a pretty good success rate which did not go unnoticed by the Paul supporters. (Thank you so much for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">everyone's</span></span> help!)<br /><br />Let me get to the point: <strong>BURYING RON PAUL SPAM IN THE UPCOMING STORIES IS <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">EVERYONES</span></span> RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU ARE TIRED OF SEEING IT</strong>. Why let these people rape <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Digg</span></span> and your eyes? They are abusing the algorithm on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Digg</span></span> to raise money and spread an agenda. This is not what <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Digg</span></span> was made for. It's for news.<br /><br /><strong>WHAT CAN <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">DIGG</span></span> DO TO STOP THIS?</strong><br />It's pretty simple. Political posts should all be placed under the respective politician's area on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Digg</span></span>. These posts should NOT be subject to public view unless the digger has indicated an interest in said politician.<br /><br />It's not a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">failproof</span></span> fix, but it's a start in the right direction to getting us on the road back to the thing everyone originally started on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Digg</span></span> for - TECH NEWS.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">ARENT</span> YOU ABUSING <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">DIGG'S</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">TOS</span> BY DOING THIS?<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">No</span>. I am not using multiple accounts to bury these stories, I am simply helping to organize other people with like interests.. very much like Ron Paul supporters. They 'shout' their stories for each other to review and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Digg</span>; We 'shout' certain stories for each other to review and decide if we like or don't like the story. Nothing in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Digg</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">TOS</span> says we can't be critical of a certain topic. That would be <span style="font-weight: bold;">fascism</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do I need to be in the AP/BB Network to help out?</span><br />No. Simply click on 'UPCOMING STORIES' then sort by 'Most Popular'. If you see a story that looks like Spam, BURY IT. It's that easy. All the networks do is help focus attention on particular upcoming stories.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Add us to your friends to get the shouts for Ron Paul Spam and help us out!</span><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.digg.com/users/antipaul">http://www.digg.com/users/antipaul</a><br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/users/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://www.digg.com/users/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX</span></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">List of stories we kept from raping your eyes this weekend:</span><br /><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Campaign_Breaks_Fundraising_Records">http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Campaign_Breaks_Fundraising_Records</a><br /><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Tea_Party_07_Over_4_Million_for_Ron_Paula">http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Tea_Party_07_Over_4_Million_for_Ron_Paula</a><br /><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Poor_Students_Sacrificing_Christmas_cash_for_Ron_Paul">http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Poor_Students_Sacrificing_Christmas_cash_for_Ron_Paul</a><br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/New_York_Times_Ron_Paul_Reinventing_the_Revolution_2">http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/New_York_Times_Ron_Paul_Reinventing_the_Revolution_2</a><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Poor_Students_Sacrificing_Christmas_cash_for_Ron_Paul"><br /></a><a href="http://digg.com/politics/Finally_Action_Ron_Paul_Introduces_Bill_to_Defend_Constit">http://digg.com/politics/Finally_Action_Ron_Paul_Introduces_Bill_to_Defend_Constit</a><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Poor_Students_Sacrificing_Christmas_cash_for_Ron_Paul"></a><br /><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Glenn_Beck_Finally_Gets_Ron_Paul_on_his_Show">http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Glenn_Beck_Finally_Gets_Ron_Paul_on_his_Show</a> <a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Blimp_LAUNCHES_2">http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Blimp_LAUNCHES_2</a><br /><a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_I_haz_a_Blimp_2">http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_I_haz_a_Blimp_2</a><br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Blimp_Launch_Dec_14_2007">http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Blimp_Launch_Dec_14_2007</a><br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Blimp_Blog_Launch_Photos">http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Blimp_Blog_Launch_Photos</a><br /><a href="http://digg.com/politics/Ron_Paul_20_million_quarter_possible">http://digg.com/politics/Ron_Paul_20_million_quarter_possible</a><br /><a href="http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/Tea_party_benefits_Paul_CNN_News">http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/Tea_party_benefits_Paul_CNN_News</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bitching by the </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Ronbots</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">:</span><br />"Bring on the ANTI-Paul <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">spammers</span></span> - Credit to them... they have also worked hard today for their causes... their causes... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">ummm</span></span> - I guess they support degradation and character assassination...
